Or, way earlier. Like 1930. What is Victory to the Axis anyway? Total world domination?

No, they weren't even going for that. It would be the conquest of Europe for Germany and finally digesting China for Japan.Or, way earlier. Like 1930. What is Victory to the Axis anyway? Total world domination?

I've gone for 1940 as well, in a world where Churchill is no more - e.g. shot down while over France, on one of his visits to the French Government - then with the UK Govt running around like headless chickens, and Halifax's Foreign Office looking for a 'get-out'.
UK agrees to give Germany a 'free-hand' on the Continent, British PoWs will be repatriated in batches - dependant on the delivery of raw materials - oil, aluminium etc.
The UK is also pressured to continue trading with Japan, in exchange for a recognition of the British Empire - apart from the odd adjustment.
So, no supplies the Russia, indeed the British may be pressured to assist with the Campaign in the East - 'we didn't stipulate where the supplies were to land, if we say Riga, it will be Riga!'
Remember appeasement? Halifax was part of that policy and wanting a deal to end the war in 1940.I imagine you would think Lord Halifax and his Majesty's Government would also provide personal blowjobs for Hitlers bodyguards, in between pints of lead tea.

Got a source on Halifax's opinions?In 1940, appeasement was dead with everybody, Halifax included, and ultimately Halifax hated Hitler as much as Churchill. Halifax was quite clearly in favor of using a deal in 1940 as a means to buy time to restart the fight in the tradition of the Peace of Amiens. While Halifax would have accepted a generous peace, there is no chance he would have signed a surrender. Essentially, he would have the British sullenly retreat back to their island with the loss of their continental allies, build up their military over the next year, and then restart the war once Hitler looked vulnerable (that is, once he attacked the USSR). All Hitler would have bought himself with a favourable peace with Britain would have been a short respite during which the British would have continued frantically re-arming while looking for any opportunity to plunge in the knife.
